Evil Dead II (1987)
Directed by Sam Raimi this comedy horror sequel stars Bruce Campbell and Sarah Berry. A young man and his girlfriend head off for a romantic weekend at a cabin in the woods only to end up being attacked by evil spirits.
This film functions somewhere between a remake and a sequel as it recycles elements of the first film and does not seem to have any reference to the events of it's predecessor. Certainly the larger budget on this film allows for better effects and more advanced sequences but there is still an element of cheapness about the film. There are some really funny moments but I am not sure there are enough to completely sustain the film which has a minimal plot otherwise.
3/5
